Has anyone gone through this process? It seems simple, but information is scarce. I purchased a cord that plugs into the J-1939 jack on the Garmin and it has a (did not know until I got it) a male end for the Yamaha buss. So I need a connector with two female ends so I can plug into the buss and then the wire to the Garmin. I can't seem to find the proper connector from buss to Garmin wire. My purpose is to get the fuel information to display on the Garmin and avoid having to keep changing screens on the Yamaha display.
 
Got it. You have to buy one cable from Garmin that has a male device plug that goes to the Yamaha buss and the buy another wire from Yamaha that has two female ends on a pigtail. Both companies get in on the action! :D
